court, but he wanted to make as good a
showing of votes as possible, and sue
ceeded very well indeed. Nearly two
thousand votes in st. Clair County for
q candidate with no real party organi-
niztion behind him is a surprising re-
cord, and shows what personal work
personal friendships shrewd manage
ment and a liberal expenditure of mon
never succeed in securing an election
to high Office, but as third party or
independent candidate he is a decided
success.--Pt. Huron Times.
The Prohibition Amendment which
has for some time commanded the ear
nest attention Of the thinking public
and held the state in an attitude Of
anxiety and agitation was virtually
settled April 4th in the negative, meet
ing Nh inglorious defeat at the hands
of the parties. who, with one hand ad-
ministered ostentaciously to its wants,
and with the other secretly brandishing
the weapon to effect its ultimate, over
throw and defeat. The republicans, who
gave birth to this unfortunate offspring,
while protesting to be its most devoted
friend, guardian and defender; while
pretending to favor and support the
object committed to their care, assem-
blcd themselves in their secret chamb-
ers to devise some diabolical scheme
that. like the assassins dagger, might
penetrate its very vitals and sound its
death knell on election day. Notwith-
standing it lays buried beneath the
combined opposition of the republican
and democratic parties, its friends still
live who ere long, will with renewed
energy and force doubtless, triumph
over all opposition and in the interest
of our homes. the interest Of suffering
families and the rising generation place
1T forever among the laws recorded in
our state Constitution. The amend
ment, though lost, is not void of good
results. 1t enables the workers to cal
culate their strength with closer prOx-
unity. 1t shows what localities of
the state presents the greatest amount
OF resistance. hence the necessity of a
greater amount Of work to be done to
turn the tide OF opposition. IL also
proves that public sentiment is not
| largely against it, but on the contrary
had there been fair count we have
every reason to believe the measure
would have carried. Let the workers
for the amendment be diligent not &c
relax their efforts but continue to labor
continue to agtate. commit themselves
closely TO their mission. and not fal
distant is the time when this strong
hold OF vice and crime will doubles.
